I love the fact that the dinosaurs that I grew up with, especially seeing older documentaries and books and out-of-date museum displays, are now fundamentally different.
It's the same species, sometimes the same skeletons, but they're rearranged, they're brought to life in a different way.
And it feels like something that everybody can participate in.
And I love that paleontology can be welcoming.
in that way, that it's something, if you can put boots on and go look for fossils or even just like volunteering in a museum, poking through drawers, you can change the way people see ancient life.
I would recommend The Last Days of the Dinosaurs.
It is the first narrative book that I wrote.
So this is like if you were there 66 million years ago.
You're standing in ancient Montana from the day before the asteroid hits through the first hour, the first day, the first week, through the first million years as you see life change.
It's basically the making of the world as we know it now with the reason why we're here.
So if you really want to get a feel for life,
not only what it's like to be there in the Mesozoic, but sort of the way that I think a paleontologist sees the world, the way that I see the world when I'm out in the rocks, when I'm looking for these animals, the kind of visual mental landscape that you kind of create from what you know.
I think that's the best place to start.
Oh, it's been a joy.
